The Whispering Winds
There is a whisper in the winds tonight
The cool breeze flowing thru the tree leaves
A haunting silence understanding the mystery of the eerie illumination from beneath the street light .
There is a whisper in the winds tonight sentences writing over sentences muffled by the voices unspoken by the restlessness lying with their concious minds and eyes closed .
There is a whisper in the winds tonight , the clarity of the words said safe guarded by the walls that have kept you in with no exit , no windows and the knocking from the unknown figure from the outside...

The Blue Bird
A Blue bird sits in his cage
The door is open but he knows his place
Too afraid to leave
He wants to fly
He wants to breath
Too afraid to die
Unable to grieve
His feeding trey is full
He's given new seed
That's when the cage falls
Spreading his wings wide
Looks to the sky
He flys all night
A Blue bird sits on the highest tree branch
A thousand miles away
He's no longer afraid
He will be ok .
The door is open but he knows his place
Too afraid to leave
He wants to fly
He wants to breath
Too afraid to die
Unable to grieve
His feeding trey is full
He's given new seed
That's when the cage falls
Spreading his wings wide
Looks to the sky
He flys all night
A Blue bird sits on the highest tree branch
A thousand miles away
He's no longer afraid
He will be ok .

We are pty LTD
You can fall a thousand times before somebody will put their hand out to help you off the ground , it's that previous thousand times when you had to get yourself up that has built you stronger than ever. You are a product of your own creation, how you market that is the most important choice you will ever have to make, you can sell quality but be aware quality comes at a cost , while cheap dosnt last and often comes as a ripped off bootleg . Work harder for quality , sell quality and don't buy cheap knock off's.

Mental Breakdown poem
I feel my mind slipping away like a melting icecube on on a slab of polished concrete in the sun .
A night out of self abuse an mental disfunctions brings the worst out in a person.
The drink , the girls , the pointless hookups trying to fill the void that my heart once used to reside before she tore it from my chest ,
Playing catchup on lost time , time that I know true and well I can't get back, I don't want it back , I cherished every moment with her ,
The thought of biting down on the cold barrel of a shotgun brings me solice , knowing that that it all ends , one...

Asphalt
Lying here with my left cheek to the asphalt,
Shards of blue metal anchored into my skin
Fractured jaw bleeding and I can see the red turn dark purple as it seeps into the road , watching as the blood changes into a dark stain
The traffic has come to a stop and the commuters sit behind the wheel honking , No body gets out to help
No body is concerned
Everyone just sits in annoyance because I have made them late to their grave digging duty's
Their patience is wearing thin so they figure they will just drive around me , some even decide to run me over, ...

I would be dangerous
If only I could concentrate
Just for one day
I would put all my efforts and thoughts to play
I'd learn how to write with the correct grammar and no mistakes
I would become the best poet anyone has seen
I'd become rich beyond all their wildest dreams
I would do a docterate learn to take away my pain and aches
I'd help others and fix their heart breaks
I would learn a new language just because I can
I'd talk the world leeders into all shaking hands
I would then take over a country of my own
I'd build an army using unmanned drones ...

The lost tribe
There is a language that's rarely spoken
It Belongs to a lost tribe who's culture is broken.
Where the women and children no longer carry any importance , while the men are dazed by intoxication , porn and misogyny. Self medicating with the ghosts that reside on the top shelf in hope that their wives look better with ale tinted glasses on. She waits late at night for him to come to bed , while he waits up hypnotised by the blue light illuminating from the screen that controls their household . He is waiting for her to sleep because he can't face her again not in this state . ...

The Light
As you walk into the darkness of the lonliest tunnel you will not see the light ,
It's the coldest of winds and the deep chill of regret is gently blowing ,making the hair on your neck stand up and you still cannot see the light ,
you will walk for days bumping into the cold damp slate walls at every turn , you will trip up on lose gravel and abandoned rails , you might lose your appitite and not eat for days and still you cannot see the light ,
You have a decision to make , you can keep walking or you can stop , stopping means that you will never again see the light ,...

Heart Ache
Out of all the pain I have ever experienced heart break is the worst,
In the hospital you can take pain killers for broken bones and they can be treated right away and put in a cast , the heart can not be mended so easily , the pain infects the mind and soul with no anti biotics to help it heal , alcohol may numb the pain but bring it back ten fold the following day ,
I no longer want to exist anymore tho I don't want to die . I can't go on but I can't stop , this is real , this is pain . A lost hope, a fallen dream
